Prepare and review engineering calculations, technical reports, and design documentation.

Develop and review 2D/3D CAD models and technical drawings.

Assess and evaluate mounting system suppliers, structural components, and external engineering designs and documentation.

Review project technical data (e.g. geotechnical reports, pull-out tests, flood risk assessments, surveys) and validate foundation and pile designs.

Collaborate with procurement, internal engineering teams, and external stakeholders including clients, suppliers, and subcontractors.

Support standardisation and optimisation of structural solutions across projects.

Provide technical support through manufacturing, FAT, construction, installation, and commissioning phases.

Ensure quality and compliance during fabrication, installation, and delivery, working closely with quality teams.

Contribute to technical discussions and represent the company professionally.

Strong knowledge of structural analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods.
HNC/HND minimum qualification; BSc/BEng/MEng in Structural Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent preferred.
Good understanding of Eurocodes and relevant international structural design standards.
Experience in steel structure design and structural optimisation.
Understanding of structural dynamics, fatigue, and vibration behaviour of steel structures under cyclic wind loading.
Structural analysis and calculation software knowledge would be an advantage
